What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether a hands-on ankle technique called mobilization with movement can immediately improve how high healthy university students can jump and how far they can bend their ankle. Half the participants receive the real mobilization, while the other half get a sham version without the therapeutic glide. Jump height and ankle flexibility are measured before and right after the single session to see if there is an acute benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mobilization with Movement (MWM) procedure applied to the ankle joint
What this could lead to
If effective, this technique could help athletes or active people improve jump performance and ankle mobility quickly.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to injured people or real-world sports settings.
